Amazon.com: Nerds without computers may seem a contradiction in terms, but life was simpler back in 1984 and the geeks seemed to get along fine with just a slide rule and a plastic pocket protector. A variation on the fraternity-farce plot of Animal House, the picture celebrates the triumphs of a gang of geeks, led by Robert Carradine and a pre-E.R. Anthony Edwards, as they get back at a rival frat house full of jocks and preppies. Although the brains-over-brawn theme ought to be sure-fire, the movie gets by mostly on charm; there are very few explosively funny sequences. The supporting cast includes some surprising familiar faces, notably James Cromwell (Babe, L.A. Confidential) as Carradine's look-alike dad, pants hoisted proudly to his armpits. The director, Jeff Kanew (Gotcha!), went on to the 1991 private-eye belly flop V.I. Warshawski and has not been heard from since. --David Chute
GREAT EXTRA FEATURES! This "new" edition DVD is well worth the money if you want extra features. The interviews and behind the scenes content is great and almost all of the cast tells stories about filming. If you are an "extra features" dork like I am then you will love this DVD.
Sweet Revenge: The Nerd-Tormentors Get to Itch, Twitch, and Dance A group of college nerds, having been rejected by others, form their own sorority. The administration, noting such things as the racial diversity of the proposed sorority, approves of it.
The highlight of the film is the payback time against those who gave a hard time to the nerds. The nerds sneak into the locker room, apply some sort of irritant substance to the jockstraps, and wait for the unsuspecting football players to put them on. Out in the field, the jocks suffer total humiliation: They itch, jump around, and engage in bizarre dances in their attempts to relieve the irritation. Absolutely hilarious!
The box was damaged When I received this dvd in the mail, the box was damaged. When I opened the dvd box the first time, the little thing that holds the dvd in the box was broken, the little plastic gripper pieces had broken off in shipping. And you guys wouldn't let me return it. Very disappointing.
FINALLY A SPECIAL EDITION!! This should have been done a long time ago. It's nice to have some real special features here besides the theatrical trailer. One of the best comedies of all-time! Maybe we can have some robster craws?
DVD review Overall, the panty raid edition dvd is pretty good. There are still a few gripes that I have with this dvd. First off, the cover art is horrible! I would be ashamed to walk in my local Walmart and buy this product just for the cover art alone. I guess that's why I ordered it online to save the embarrassment. Why don't they keep the original art work on these dvd's? Upgraded features, downgraded cover art. Secondly, this is my biggest gripe. Has anyone noticed how the past couple of releases of this movie have cut the scene of the nerds walking up the street to the house that Lewis discovered with the "for rent" sign in his hand right before they fix it up? I have seen this scene cut when it has been aired on HBO as well. Also, why in the world they put the t.v. pilot on this dvd, i'll never know. It was awful! I wanted my 30 minutes back. There were a few faces I recognized in it, like Sean Kanan from the Karate Kid 3. Lastly, the deleted scenes were terrible too. I can see why they cut them out. They also did not include all of the deleted scenes though, because if you watch the trailer, you will notice some other scenes that weren't in the movie or the deleted scenes section. The great things about this dvd are the documentary which was great and the commentary.
